  6. Stir in courgette mixture and flour, mix evenly
  7. Bake for about 55 mins at Gas Mark 3, 325ºF/170ºC

I found this cake to be very moist, and a good lemon flavour and little chewy in texture. Went down very well with all those that tried it,

And my Uncle said it went well with custard as a pudding
